      From: markus.humm1@freenet.de              If somebody wanted to start such a project, one could split it up in       three parts:              1. a chipset detector afaik only 3 different        sorts do exist: UHCI, OHCI and EHCI       2. a chipset dependand part with a well defined API for:       3. a generic driver who can map generic profiles        (like serial port or printer) to already known APIs for DOS, like int        14h/16h and perhaps trapping I/O for Ports 3F8h etc. (thuis emulating        these ports in software). Mass storage devices can be accessed via        Int 13h, there already exist some drivers.              All three parts must work together maybe as device drivers or TSRs.              That would be a generic solution and all DOS users could profit from it.              I don't have the time or money to develop such a thing, but to have it       would be nice, indeed. But I can life mostly without them now... :-(              Greetings              Markus              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
